Abstract
A voltage regulator includes a power stage electrically coupled to an input voltage terminal, a controller for controlling the power stage and a shunt resistor of a sense network connected in series between the input voltage terminal and the power stage. In a non-calibration mode, a first level shifting resistor of the sense network is electrically connected in series between a first terminal of the shunt resistor and a first sense pin of the controller and a second level shifting resistor of the sense network is electrically connected in series between a second terminal of the shunt resistor and a second sense pin of the controller. In a calibration mode, the first sense pin and the second sense pin of the controller are electrically connected to the same terminal of the shunt resistor via the first level shifting resistor and the second level shifting resistor of the sense network.
